This is a Vendor Checklist document issued by Collier County's Procurement Services Division for the Tigertail Beach Concession Services Invitation to Negotiate (ITN No. 25-8577). The County seeks proposals for concession services at Tigertail Beach on Marco Island, Florida, which serves over 150,000 annual visitors annually and operates 365 days per year from 8:00 a.m. to sunset. Vendors may propose on Option A (food and beverage sales only), Option B (beach rentals only), or Option C (combined services). The facility includes a 360-square-foot food concession area with a partially covered deck and storage with gas lines, and a 120-square-foot beach rental area consisting of a 10-by-12-foot chickee hut with electricity. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for March 11, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the Procurement Services Division office in Naples, with proposals due April 2, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. through the Collier County Online Bidding System. The contract term is three years with two one-year renewal options, with annual fees increasing by five percent each renewal year.

The checklist requires vendors to submit 18 specific documents and certifications, including a Vendor Declaration Statement, Conflict of Interest Certification, Immigration Certification with E-Verify enrollment verification, local business certification if applicable with a Collier or Lee County Business Tax Receipt, reference questionnaires, a W-9 Form, proof of required licenses and certifications, all executed addenda, and signed acknowledgment of County terms and IT requirements. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage including Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, Commercial General Liability at $1,000,000 single limit with $2,000,000 aggregate, and Automobile Liability at $300,000 per occurrence, with Collier County named as additional insured. A bid bond equal to 5 percent of the cost proposal and Performance and Payment Bonds for 100 percent of the contract award amount are required. The previous concessionaire paid approximately $3,800 monthly; however, proposers must submit annual fees per square foot. Evaluation criteria include vendor experience and qualifications (30 points), MWBE certification (5 points), operational plans and menu variety (35 points), compliance with food safety regulations (20 points), and local vendor preference for Collier or Lee County businesses (10 points).
